I started using an account earlier this year to follow some people's news, and after curating the feed find the "content slurry" endless scroll not terrible for recent news/trends/memes/music/whatever.
I've heard the complaints that twitter was ruined, but never understood how. Author points to a loss of personal community, so now I think that the complaints are a result of Musk's deliberate bursting of filter bubbles, and are from people who preferred to keep their bubble.
I don't know what it was like a couple years ago. Today the for you page still gives me a huge smattering of posts, some that I'll check not interested in or block, randomly foreign language posts, and overall feels like an okay balance of chaos and not a bubble to me. But it would be hard to detect that from within, wouldn't it

If you think the bubble has bust and it's not just a differently filtered bubble, I have a bridge to sell you.
